NAME

       DLAMCH - determine double precision machine parameters

SYNOPSIS

       DOUBLE PRECISION FUNCTION DLAMCH( CMACH )

	   CHARACTER	CMACH

PURPOSE

       DLAMCH determines double precision machine parameters.

ARGUMENTS

       CMACH   (input) CHARACTER*1
	       Specifies the value to be returned by DLAMCH:
	       = 'E' or 'e',   DLAMCH := eps

NAME

       dlamch.f -

SYNOPSIS

   Functions/Subroutines
       DOUBLE PRECISION function dlamch (CMACH)
	   DLAMCH
       DOUBLE PRECISION function dlamc3 (A, B)
	   DLAMC3

Function/Subroutine Documentation
   DOUBLE PRECISION function dlamc3 (double precisionA, double precisionB)
       DLAMC3 Purpose:

	DLAMC3	is intended to force  A  and  B  to be stored prior to doing
	the addition of  A  and  B ,  for use in situations where optimizers
	might hold one of these in a register.
